Description

Hi! I’m Z, a hands-on architecture student currently living in Milan, with roots in China and study experience in the U.S.
I’m passionate about building, making, and living simply — close to nature, animals, and good people.

I enjoy practical, creative work and have experience in:

Woodworking and basic carpentry

Pottery and other handcrafts

Gardening, planting, and maintaining outdoor spaces

Helping with small renovations, painting, organizing

Caring for animals and enjoying life on farms or in the countryside

My background in architecture means I think a lot about how spaces are made and lived in — not just in theory, but with my hands. I love learning traditional skills, building with local materials, and being part of meaningful, slow processes.

I’m looking for Workaway opportunities in the countryside or on farms, where I can contribute physically, learn from others, and enjoy nature and a quieter rhythm of life. I’m independent, responsible, and easy to get along with — whether working side-by-side or sharing a meal.

Looking forward to joining your project and learning something new!
